| الوصف: | Introduction: Neuroimaging plays an important role in the assessment of meningitis, but conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is insensitive for early and specific diagnosis. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) can illustrate disturbances in white matter integrity before they become obvious on conventional MRI. Aim: To determine DTI parameters, specifically Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), in patients with meningitis and compare them with controls. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted over a period of 18 months at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. The study included a total of 61 clinically diagnosed meningitis patients, aged 18 years and above, who were referred to the Department of Radiodiagnosis for an MRI Brain. Additionally, 61 controls were included. Conventional MRI images were obtained followed by DTI. FA and ADC values were calculated by placing Regions Of Interest (ROI) at different levels for both groups. DTI parameters for different causative organisms (bacterial, viral, tubercular, and fungal) were compared. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 24.0, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was used to identify significant differences. The p-value |
